Ernst

In the first image a woman and a rooster are having what seems to be a face-off over a basket of eggs.The woman appears to be waving her arms in a flapping motion, in a way mocking the rooster. Meanwhile the rooster is upright and properly poised. To me this appears to be a switch of roll play.
The following image is of the woman sleeping whilst the rooster and a rooster man watch over her.The next scene is of two women who seem to have been kidnapped by the chicken people. In this switch of roles the birds are sophisticated, while the people are nude and objectified. As the images progress one of the  women is murdered by the fowls. Meanwhile other women are dancing and blissfully unaware of the lurking rooster man. This man seems to be ruling over the women in following picture, as the story progresses the people are afraid and hiding from the chicken man.
The rooster from the first frame has hired men to kill the women. The bird people are now controlling the humans and torturing them. Some of the humans side with the chicken people, these people wage war on other humans. In time it seems that all the humans have been eradicated and the rooster people are triumphant and all that is left is images of the humans.
